If you know what your eth1 card is, then the first step is to add something 
like:

alias eth1 3c509

to /etc/modules.conf.

Then create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and try to bring up 
the interface.

However, I'm not clear on whether kudzu detected eth1 at all. Try running 
"kudzu" at the command prompt as root... you want kudzu to detect it first, 
then you can configure it.

May not be a perfect answer, but it's all I got right now.

If I may OT, which dual- or quad-port Ethernet cards would you recommend?
